Advantages of Using pGRF Plasmid in Swine Production
Improved feed conversion efficiency (10 %)
Shortened production cycle (10 – 14 days)
Decreased waste production
Improved meat quality (more lean meat and less back fat)
Healthier pigs
- Reduced incidences of disease & mortality rate
- Increased resistance to heatstroke
- Enhanced cellular immune response
Enhanced vaccine efficacy
Effect of pGFR Plasmid on Weight Gain in Pigs
Effect of pGRF Plasmid on pGRF and IGF-1 Concentration1
* Two pGRF injections on Days 0 and 30.
Immunomodulatory Effects
Reports from pig farmers that pGRF lasmid-treated pigs displayed enhanced immune funtions:
- Lower incidence of disease
- Resistance to heatstroke
Experiment by South China Agricultural University demonstrated enhanced cellular immune responses
Ongoing experiments on specific immunity studies, including boost in vaccine efficiency
Effect of pGRF Plasmid on Immune Cells
Phagocytosis enhanced by as much as 76% and lymphocyte ANAE activity by 29% in pigs injected with 4.5 mg pGRF Plasmid DNA.
